Showcase Sunday 6. Giveaway prizes.

As you know, I won a copy of Philippa Gregory - Changeling and it arrived two days ago! Another thanks to The secret writer ^^ I will be reading this one soon, so stay tuned for the review!

Italy, 1453. Seventeen-year-old Luca Vero is brilliant, gorgeous—and accused of heresy. Cast out of his religious order for using the new science to question old superstitious beliefs, Luca is recruited into a secret sect: The Order of the Dragon, commissioned by Pope Nicholas V to investigate evil and danger in its many forms, and strange occurrences across Europe, in this year—the end of days. Isolde is a seventeen-year-old girl shut up in a nunnery so she can’t inherit any of her father’s estate. As the nuns walk in their sleep and see strange visions, Isolde is accused of witchcraft—and Luca is sent to investigate her, but finds himself plotting her escape. Despite their vows, despite themselves, love grows between Luca and Isolde as they travel across Europe with their faithful companions, Freize and Ishraq. The four young people encounter werewolves, alchemists, witches, and death-dancers as they head toward a real-life historical figure who holds the boundaries of Christendom and the secrets of the Order of the Dragon.

I also found out that I won TWO other giveaways. Can you believe it? I danced when I heard it, haha. First of all, I won my own pick under 15 dollars on The book depository. I won The Jubilee Blog Hop on Elemillia's blog. I choose: Jackson Pearce - Sisters red. Look at the cover <3 and it's a fairytale retelling, so I couldn't resist to pick this one.

Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead. Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?

And last but not least, I won in the favourite read hop by Julie Veronica Roth - Divergent! Finally the chance to dive into this popular book :D

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves… or it might destroy her.

I am so grateful for these awesome bloggers and their giveaways! Thank you so much for giving me the chance to receive these books. I can't wait to read them.
And, what did you get this week? :)

You got some great books :). I've bought Sisters Red a while ago I really need to read it. I've read Jackson Pearce debut novel As you wish and I loved it. Divergent was one of my favorite book in 2011. But I was a little disappointed by Insurgent :/. Happy reading !

Great pick! I loved Divergent! And Sisters Red looks so good! I considered reading it for a while but never got around to it. But now that I just finally realized the cover art design, I may just be picking it up!

When I saw that you said you haven't read Divergent yet, this is what my face looked like: O_O Because that's a book that deserves to be read by every single person who likes or even doesn't like reading! (Just for Four, if I have to say so LOL <3) I can't wait until you start it so you can hopefully join the Divergent bandwagon. And I love the cover for Sisters Red too! :)

Amazing showcase this week, Mel! I hope you enjoy all of your beautiful books! ;) <3

Oh, Mel, you're so lucky to win all these amazing books! YAY for Divergent!
